Incident Description: 1:40 PM on Dec. 1, 2015
While attending to an alarm on the Line 1 RAM, a manufacturing associate tripped over a single tote of rubber tips and fell to the ground, fracturing her right wrist.
The tote was staged in its designated location as part of a 5 max/1 min kanban.
The injured employee was looking up at the parts feeder-tubes as she was walking to the control panel of the RAM in an attempt to identify the reason for the alarm. She was not looking in her direction of travel at the time of the incident and never saw the tote.
